| The 28-story apartment building was being renovated when it caught fire at about 2:15 p.m. Monday. The building was built in January 1998. The fire was mostly extinguished by 6:30 p.m. after 122 fire engines were dispatched, which included 17 ladder trucks as well as more than 1,300 firefighters. More than 100 residents were saved. The ladder trucks could only reach as high as the 20th floor, which subsequently hampered the rescue effort. |
火灾于11月15日14时15分发生在一栋28层的居民楼。火灾发生时，该建筑正在实施综合改造项目。事发大楼于1998年1月建成。大火于18时30分被基本扑灭。共有122辆消防车辆，其中云梯车17辆，以及官兵1300多人参与了灭火救援，共救出居民100余人。消防云梯难以达到20层以上，这给救援工作带来了很大的困难。 (China.org.cn) |
